Change Ur Logon Screen
Logon wallpaper is the wallpaper or
image
that windows xp/7 shows on screen when
windows logs on (before it asks for
username
& password) . It’s usually set to the
image-
logo of the brand(manufacturer) of our computer (e.g. in compaq laptops). Now
we
can set it to our own image or any other
image
(any bmp file) by following trick.
Open Startmenu->Run type regedit and press
ok to open registry editor.(shows a tree
like
structure of directories at left)
In that hierarchical structure in left,
navigate to registry entry
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel
\Desktop
In right side pane see a number of values
placed in a table format. choose the value
named Wallpaper from there and double click
it. Now you see a box with value name
as
Wallpaper and value data as Path to the
image file .There give the full path of the
image(bmp file) which you want to set as
logon wallpaper by deleting previous
path and
writing path to your bmp file e.g. C:
\WINDOWS
\lon.BMP (to set image lon.BMP file as log on
wall paper).
Also double click on WallpaperStyle and
change it’s value to 2 to get a stretched
wallpaper at logon.
Put that bmp file in windows directory for
better results.
If that is a jpeg file, convert to bmp file by
opening in Windows Image Viewer and
save as
bmp.
